'''Qu Tongfeng''', ({{lang-zh|s=曲同丰|t=曲同豐|p=Qǔ Tóngfēng|w=Ch'ü<sup>3</sup> T'ung<sup>2</sup>-feng<sup>1</sup>}}; {{IPA|cmn|t͡ɕǔ tʊ́ŋfə̄ŋ|IPA}}; 1873&ndash;1929) was a general who served Yuan Shikai and the Anhui clique.

Qu Tongfeng was born in Fushan County, now in Yantai, Fushan District of Shandong. At age 16 he joined the Beiyang Fleet and served as second-class engineer on the ''Dingyuan'' during the First Sino–Japanese War. When the ship was sunk in the Battle of the Yalu River he escaped into the sea and was rescued. He went on to get a higher education and was sent to the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1903, graduating in 1904. Upon his return he was given an infantry unit command. In 1907 he was given posts in the Beiyang Army in charge of drill, discipline and inspection. In 1910 he was promoted to command of a unit in Yunnan.

Following the 1911 Wuchang Uprising Qu rose in revolt, becoming commander of the 2nd Division. In 1912 he was promoted to Major General. He was President of the Baoding Military Academy from 1913 to 1915. He was removed after opposing Yuan Shikai's capitulation to the Twenty-One Demands. Following the death of Yuan Shikai, Qu was given military commands again by the Anhui clique.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Song |first=Shihong |title=Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (SSEHR 2017) |chapter=Failure for Status of the War Participation Army of Beiyang government |date=February 2018 |volume=185 |chapter-url=https://www.atlantis-press.com/proceedings/ssehr-17/25891644 |language=en |publisher=Atlantis Press |pages=410–413 |doi=10.2991/ssehr-17.2018.93 |isbn=978-94-6252-471-2|doi-access=free }}</ref>

In 1920 he was the Anhui army front-line commander-in-chief in the Zhili–Anhui War. Wu Peifu led the Zhili clique army in a daring maneuver to capture the Anhui army headquarters after first outflanking the enemy, capturing Qu and many of his fellow officers. He was released from captivity in 1922.

Qu Tongfeng was shot in Tianjin in 1929.
